Create a New Document
There are two ways to create a document:
From the sidebar
- Open the base where you want to create a document.
- Click Create New at the top of the left sidebar.
- Select Document from the dropdown.
- A new untitled document will be created and opened in the editor.
Documents appear in the sidebar alongside your tables and dashboards, sorted by their order.
From the minibar
- Click the + button on the bottom-left minibar.
- Select Document from the menu.
Create a Nested (Child) Document
- In the sidebar document tree, hover over the parent document.
- Click the ... icon that appears on hover.
- Select New sub-document from the context menu.
Documents can be nested to any depth. Child documents are lazy-loaded — they appear when you expand their parent in the sidebar tree.
Add a Document Icon
Each document can have an emoji icon for quick visual identification.
- In the sidebar, hover over the document and click the ... icon.
- Select Change icon from the context menu.
The icon will appear alongside the document title in the sidebar tree & along with the document header in the editor.
